InitLibrary Method

bool    InitLibrary( COINIT coinitmode = COINIT_MULTITHREADED );

The method returns true on success, otherwise it returns false.

InitLibrary or InitLibraryWithoutCOM must be called at the start of an application. It must be called once before any other classes of IC Imaging Control can be used. When you do not specify the coinitmode parameter, COM is initialized with COINIT_MULTITHREADED. For every call to InitLibrary there should be a corresponding call to ExitLibrary

// ...

if( !DShowLib::InitLibraryWithoutCOM() )
{
    return false;
